It exits because it killed itself, most likely. How do you boot your system so that /proc/mounts ends up like that? I don't know I use a default redhat install, no modifications. Except that I run a custom kernel with devfs, but that shouldn't matter. Afaik I've seen the /dev/root entry in /proc/mounts with devfs too, so I don't know why it is /dev/hda1 now. Maybe it has got something todo with the way it is remounted? That *shouldn't* be a problem. Could you try booting a kernel without devfs to see if it's entered as /dev/root? Okay, it does work with the standard 2.2.12-16 kernel as distributed with the latest lorax. But I still think it should not behave as it does, it might yell, but it shouldn't exit without unmounting / This should be fixed in initscripts-4.49-1, which will be
in the next Raw Hide release.
Just trying to make sure that it did seem to be devfs, so we can
diagnose it better if it pops up again.:)
If you want to fix it on your own, change the awk to:
'!(^#|proc|^none|^\/dev\/root| \/ )/ {print $2}'
in both places...

The new /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt contains: remaining =`awk '!/(^#|proc|^none|^\/dev\/root|^\/dev\/hda1)/ {print $2}' /proc/mounts` my /proc/mount contains: /dev/hda1 / ext2 rw 0 0 none /dev devfs rw 0 0 /proc /proc proc rw 0 0 /dev/hda5 /home ext2 rw 0 0 /dev/hda6 /archive ext2 rw 0 0 /dev/hda7 /usr/local ext2 rw 0 0 /dev/hda3 /archive/system/updates/lorax ext2 rw 0 0 as you can see root is /dev/hda1 not /dev/root, so it is seen as a remaining filesystem to unmount. Making things worse the halt scripts exits (after the place where it should break) for some reason instead of retrying the 3 times and then continuing with rebooting. This causes init to print: no more processes left in runlevel. And then it just hangs.
